Pad Printing Machine

• Because fishing lures are irregularly shaped, it is not possible to use a traditional flat screen printing machine when printing a design. A pad printing machine works like a rubber stamper, with a specially cupped ink pad that mechanically imprints the design.
  
  

Cylindrical Screen Printing Machine

• A cylindrical screen printing machine can be used for round lures. These machines are highly automated and used in commercial bottling. The cylindrical objects are held in place by the machine and a special roller applies the ink.
  
  

Vinyl Ink

• Vinyl ink is water resistant and will not deteriorate in rivers and lakes. It can be used on many types of plastic lures, including acrylic, polycarbonate and vinyl.
